CarbonLow TM – CertainTeed Canada’s new drywall line with lower embodied carbon

Saint-Gobain, through its building products subsidiary CertainTeed Canada Inc., recently unveiled CarbonLowTM, a new line of low-carbon gypsum wallboard to be sold in Canada starting in 2025. With up to 60 per cent less embodied carbon cradle-to-gate than traditional alternatives, CarbonLowTM will allow contractors and homeowners to use the quality CertainTeed solutions they trust while reducing their environmental footprint.

The range of products includes Easi-Lite®, Type X, M2Tech®, and GlasRoc®, representing a complete portfolio of essential interior and exterior gypsum solutions. The lower embodied carbon wallboard will help architects achieve building decarbonization in their designs while requiring no change to standard installation procedures for contractors.

Announced at CertainTeed Canada’s annual Architecture Symposium, the CarbonLowTM product line is set to be manufactured at CertainTeed’s facility in Montreal, Quebec, which will soon be North America’s first zero-carbon (scopes 1 and 2) gypsum wallboard facility. CertainTeed is working on updating equipment and transitioning the plant from fossil fuels to being powered completely by hydroelectricity.

“CarbonLowTM represents not only a new, high-quality product line but a fulfillment of our promise to provide solutions for the decarbonization of the built environment,” says Julie Bonamy, CEO of Saint-Gobain Canada.
